Service couple be a little more attentive, but we were low-maintenance. It took awhile for us to get our water filled and to-go boxes, but we were not in a hurry. I would love to try more of the menu next time.

I ordered the sticky rice shaken beef to-go, and while the portion looks pretty generous in the…read morepictures, I was a little surprised by how small it actually was in person. The beef was flavorful and well-seasoned, but it wasn't as tender as other shaken beef dishes I've had. The texture was more on the chewy/crunchy side, and there also weren't a ton of pieces of meat. For around $20, I felt like it was a bit on the pricier side for the portion. That being said, the flavor was really good! I also appreciated that they included a little pâté on the side, and the sauce that came with the dish was delicious. I just wish there were a little more meat and that it was more tender. Overall, a tasty dish, but I'm not sure the portion quite matched the price.

That said, the food didn't quite deliver. I ordered the spicy basil chicken curry with coconut rice -- it was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of your way for. The calamari leaned heavily on batter, overwhelming the actual seafood, and the Brussels sprouts were overly dressed to the point where the flavors felt unbalanced. Overall, it's a solid spot for group logistics and atmosphere, but from a food standpoint, it felt average. Not bad, just not something I'd prioritize for a return visit.

Getting them to-go or taking them home just isn't the same experience--they are best enjoyed hot right out of the kitchen. The Environment: The restaurant itself is very basic and could definitely use a deep clean, especially the floors. If you're looking for a romantic lunch, a date spot, or a sleek environment, you will be disappointed. Final Verdict: I definitely recommend this spot if you want a fast, delicious dumpling fix and don't care much about ambiance. Just lower your expectations for the decor, dine in, and enjoy the food!

I wanted to give a big thank you to the entire staff, and especially to our waiter, Daniel. We brought our small dog with us, and while many restaurants would have simply said no, Daniel went out of his way to accommodate us by seating us outside. He even brought our dog a bowl of water without us having to ask, and from that moment on, he made us feel genuinely welcome. It may seem like a small gesture, but it's those thoughtful touches that turn a meal into a memorable experience. Great food is important, but exceptional customer service is what keeps people coming back. Daniel's kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile made our visit extra special. Thank you again to Daniel and the entire team for reminding us what true hospitality looks like. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be recommending this place to our family and friends.

But they stuck to the steamer and ripped, the skins were pretty soggy, and it's just nowhere near Din Tai Fung quality. The seafood potstickers were pretty tasty but definitely overpriced. If you're actually hungry and you need lunch, I wouldn't come here. It cost $60 for 2 people to each eat 7.5 dumplings.

GOGA is one of those restaurants that reminds you why independent, chef-driven dining is so…read morespecial. We had a 5:30 reservation on a Friday. First tip: it's a little tricky to find! It's tucked behind the buildings just off Saratoga's main strip. Trust Google Maps, head to the rear parking lot, and follow the sign through the alley to the restaurant. Dinner is prix fixe only -- $93 as of August 2026. We mentioned that we had plans afterward and just wanted a lighter dinner and some wine, and they were incredibly gracious about letting us split one prix fixe. Honestly, the portions still felt very generous, and we ended up spending about the same amount on wine anyway. The wine list is small but really thoughtfully curated, and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The standout for me was the Hokkaido scallop with crab and caramelized carrot. Genuinely one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. A couple of dishes were liberal with the finishing salt, but the flavors, seasoning, creativity, and technique were top tier. Everything is cooked to order by the chef, and it showed -- every course came out beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. The whole place feels like a passion project. The chef has spent decades in the industry, including time in Shanghai and Hawaii, and it feels like he and his wife basically said, "This is what we do, this is the food we love -- let's make a place for it." And I love that. There are some rough edges that come with making the space work for them, but the things that actually matter -- food, service, organization, and cleanliness -- were excellent. Even the single restroom was very clean and well kept. It's a small, intimate space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. That said, they seemed genuinely accommodating to everyone who came through and clearly care about making people feel welcome. More than anything, the restaurant just felt happy. Everyone around us was having a great time, people were ordering liberally from the wine list, and by the time we left around 7, it felt like a room full of people who understood exactly what this place is about. GOGA isn't trying to win you over with a bunch of empty promises and trendy decor. It's about really good food, wine, and hospitality from people who clearly care about what they're doing. I'd love to see the space evolve over time, but never at the expense of the food or the wonderfully unique experience they've created. We'll absolutely be back -- brunch is next.

This small restaurant is located on Big Basin Way hidden off the street and has been there for…read morealmost 4 years (it's 2026 now.) You can say it's a hidden Gem. Rent must be up there as it's not a bargain restaurant but the quality is very good. Let's start with pricing, $95 plus tax and a 3% charge for credit cards, with wine you're going to be at $125 pp. Dinner is a Prix Fixe thing and they don't have alternate choices on every entree. They had crab covered scallop for the appetizer and my wife is allergic shellfish so the chef made a wonderful rare Ahi Tuna appetizer with a miso flare, but this was a special request. The interior isn't anything special and we went when the air conditioning wasn't working very well so it was hot and humid in the restaurant. There was only one server that night and the main chef, but only four tables were being served. Wondering how it would be when they have 8-10 tables going at the same time. Here's how the food rates: Ahi Tuna Appetizer: A Crab covered Scallops: A+ This was a standout dish Fish Taco: C+ nothing special here but fried fish in a tortilla Wagyu Flank Steak: B Nice Flavor, but not a premium cut Tiramisu w/rasberries: B+ I know this would be difficult given the rent in downtown Saratoga, but a prix fixe at $75 would be more appropriate for this level of food. I am looking forward to trying their weekend brunch as that venue allows you to choose from a brunch and lunch menu.

For now, we could only enjoy it in the Valley Fair mall food court. Since seating is inside the food court, it's a bit on luck to see what tables you can get and how clean it is. The menu is tempting as usual. Service is not bad. While the line was long, a member immediately opened up another cashier station to speed up the pace. We got their combo, which is short rib with waffle fries, a pulled pork Koja, and a beef Koja. The combo is 19.99, and you can trade up the fountain drink with their seasonal drink of Kunquet green Thai tea for additional $3. Their poster said free ice cream with the combo order, but they did not hand me the ice cream. :( The food tasted good!! The combo is loaded with flavorful short rib cubes (no bones) on a bed of fresh salad. It was a good portion that I didn't have to touch the rice at all. The pull pork Koja was also thick and heavily loaded. It's so thick that we couldn't put it between our lips. It has a good amount of meat and a thin layer of crisp inside. The Kunquet Green Thai Tea didn't have much Thai tea flavor, but a hint of lemony taste. Not bad for a hot summer day and trying some new things. Overall a great salivating meal! Hopefully this location sticks and we can come back to refill our cravings each time.

I probably visited Koja back in the day when they had a food truck. We were looking for something…read moreto eat while visiting Valley Fair, and my companion mentioned liking Koja. I ordered the ahi tuna bowl since it sounded a bit lighter than getting something with red meat. It was kind of like a poke bowl, but not one where you can pick all the ingredients and flavors. The ahi had a strong wasabi flavor, which I liked, but I think someone who doesn't like spicy food wouldn't be a fan! I also had a side of the umami fries, which are kind of like fries with sauce and pork on them. I wasn't 100% sure what made them umami, but they were pretty good. The portion size seems a little small per price point (about $8), clearly meant as a side. The food came out fairly quickly, not too long to wait. Service was fine. Ambiance is funny question because it's a mall food court! I do like that they have an outdoor eating area at Valley Fair now.
